Description
The story has the potential to be deeply sad when you consider the life of our young protagonist, Eel, but we also get to see the grit and determination of a young boy who has no one to look after him and who makes his way in the world. When Eel is recruited by Jon Snow to trace the roots of the epidemic, he gives the reader a front row seat to the scientific thought and method in 1854.
This would be a disturbing read for most elementary aged children and I would recommend it only for older middle schoolers. Many secondary characters die in pain as the Cholera epidemic spreads in London. There are many vicious characters waiting to take advantage of the children and violence lurks around every corner. 272 pgs, pb. ~Amber Publisher's Description of Great Trouble
Eel has troubles of his own: As an orphan and a "mudlark," he spends his days in the filthy River Thames, searching for bits of things to sell. He's being hunted by Fisheye Bill Tyler, and a nastier man never walked the streets of London. And he's got a secret that costs him four precious shillings a week to keep safe. But even for Eel, things aren't so bad until that fateful August day in 1854—the day the deadly cholera epidemic ("blue death") comes to Broad Street.
